Abstract: The implementations of the present disclosure provide a method and a system for generating a semantic response to a query. The method comprises receiving unstructured continuous data of a user, classifying the unstructured continuous data into a first type of data, by a first classification model, a second type of data, by a second classification model, and a third type of data, by a third classification model, wherein the second and third type of data includes name related data and event related data respectively. The method further comprises storing the first, second and third type of data in a first, a second and a third database respectively, and receiving a query to search for one or more details corresponding to the user, wherein the one or more details are based on the unstructured continuous data of the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an insect control composition comprising geraniol, at least 0.005 wt. % of pyrethrum, based on the total weight of the composition, optionally at least one active selected from the group consisting of p-Menthane-3,8-diol, peppermint oil, thymol, eucalyptus oil, citronella oil, basil oil, citral, lemongrass oil, and combinations thereof, and a solvent; wherein the weight ratio between the geraniol to the pyrethrum and optionally the at least one active is between 0.25:1 and 50:1. The invention further relates to an insect control product comprising said insect control composition and an emanation device. The invention also relates to a use of said insect control composition or said insect control product to kill, knockdown and/or repel insects.

Abstract: Planner insight analytics identifies orders and sizes customers can execute to achieve business and operational efficiency. Generating optimal trimming patterns for trimming raw rolls and/or sheets of a flat sheet stock/customer orders includes: (a) receiving customer orders, primary and secondary machine specifications, warehouse inventory, and trade constraints; and (b) generating solutions for (i) order quantity fulfillment, (ii) a primary cutting pattern for the primary machine, (iii) a secondary cutting pattern for the secondary machine, and (iv) inventory details, wherein the solutions are generated with consideration of the initial trade constraints; (c) executing a batch and generating suggestions; (d) generating modified solutions for the parameters in step (b) using revised trade constraints derived from the suggestions generated that override the initial trade constraints in (c); and (e) operating a cutting apparatus.
